Actiontec 1520 Notes

1. The reset button on the back of the DSL Actiontec modem or the Utility Menu can be used to restore Default Settings.
2. If the Actiontec modem is restored to Default Settings, it is configured via http://192.168.0.1.
3. The Dynamic IP service requires NAT routing on DSL Actiontec modem. Use of DHCP on the modem is highly recommended. Using NAT with DHCP, the customer PC or PCs are configured to obtain an IP address and DNS server address automatically via DHCP from the DSL modem. In this case, http://192.168.0.1 is used to access and configure the modem.
